We collaborate with partners across the world to create sustainable impact
We work with partners worldwide - organisations which are already embedded in and trusted by their communities, who understand the local realities and challenges, and who are engaged in the topics we work on. This approach supports long-term and sustainable impact and allows our projects to scale globally while responding effectively to local cultural and social dynamics.

Our partners also build the capacity of other organisations and individuals within their local networks, creating a multiplier effect which allows our educational initiatives to reach communities that couldn't be reached otherwise.
